The Yellow Jackets beat N.C. State 82-71 in Raleigh, giving coach Brian Gregory his first ACC win. The Wolfpack could not afford another setback like that, not if they want to make a run at an NCAA Tournament bid.

N.C. State forward Scott Wood finally missed a free throw, ending his ACC record streak at 66 in a row. Actually, he missed three, going 2 for 5 at the foul line.

Reginald Buckner had 15 points and nine rebounds for Ole Miss (14-9, 4-5), which has lost three of four.

NO. 21 WISCONSIN 68, MINNESOTA 61 (OT)

In Minneapolis, Jordan Taylor scored 27 points for his first college win in his home state, and Wisconsin gutted out a overtime victory at Minnesota.

The Badgers (19-6, 8-4 Big Ten) failed to score over the last 7½-plus minutes of the second half while the Gophers (17-8, 5-7) dug out of a 13-point hole. But that dogged Wisconsin defense came back in the overtime even though the Badgers’ shooting touch didn’t.

Ryan Evans had 17 points and 11 rebounds for Wisconsin, which went 15 for 17 from the free-throw line in OT.

Andre Hollins had 20 points, including five 3-pointers, and six rebounds for Minnesota.
